Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home performed well in the category of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an B- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. While this place didn't have as many nursing hours per resident as many of the other facilities we looked at, it was still better than average in the area of avoiding major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator of how carefully a facility's nursing staff is tending to its patients. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The third category we graded is short-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of B- in this category. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that it performed respectably in this area with 46.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final area, we gave this facility a grade of D for our long-term care category. This was the facility's worst category rating. Sadly, this category pulled down the facility's overall grade to some degree. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.93 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
